Mitsubishi Pajero Fieldmaster (Gen 2.5) [ARCHIVED]

[boyg]

PK, thanks for the advise re: mechanic from El Dorado cubao, I'll see if I can use them in the other things that are needed to be done.

Got the Pajero yesterday from Servitek, no choice talaga, only had Excel-G available so yun na pinakabit ko, will see how good/bad it goes the next few days. Also replaced ball joints, axle boots, upper suspension bushings and brake pads all around. (almost all replacement parts kasi masyado way out of budget na for orig eh.)

Spent a mini fortune, but well below what I would have spent on original shocks alone. Me konti pang gagawin sa kanya, but mostly sa engine na. Have to bring it to Central Diesel pa din to check the "pugak" when cold idling. Get's really hard to restart it after it dies out when you first start it up. I also have to get my 4wd done, it's permanently engaged sa 4wd, pag nilagay ko sa 2wd nag bi-blink na then uugong na sya, (from somewhere down below) then I have to put it back to 4wd para tumino ulit. Hay naku! dami pa din.

boyg, nagpalit kana ba ng transfer case oil? try mo muna to, kung mawala yung tunog when shifting to 2wd, mura lang naman papalit oils, kahit sa gasoline station kaya na, use gl5 gearoil sa transfer case. and sabay mo narin diff oils habang nadun kana rin, gl4 sa diffs, si PK yata merong budget calibration na alam, 6k lang daw inabot sa kanya,

[boyg]

promdiboy,
sige, i'll try that next week, out of town ako this weekend. Interesting, sana yun lang.

PK,
where's this budget calibration? PM me na lang po. ;)

Got to ride the Pajero tonight and I must say, the ride's stiffer than before it was fixed, but I think ok naman sya. I don't find it overly harsh, mejo matigas lang, but acceptable. My wife immediately noticed the difference when she took the controls. Overall very happy with the change. Thanks to all of you!!

Balik lang ako ng balik for budget tips!! hehe.

Hi Boyg, the place is in Pateros... kinda hard to describe if your'e not familiar with the place

[pajerokid]

PK, paps do you think may difference pa yung gas a just specific for pajero and yung same length na gas a just? yung servitek guy ang nagsabi na pwede naman basta pag full extend pareho sila. parang may sense naman yung sinabi niya, but i'm not sure kung may bad effects.


JJcarenthusiast, yes maririnig pag nag rev, kahit idle may maririnig ka parin, maingay talaga 4m40

Wala na naman siguro. internally pare pareho lang malamang yung GAJ shocks.... mounting lang ang siguradong difference nila.

hehehe, sa lagay maingay pa makina mo? e isang tonelada na yung deadening ng paj mo hehehe

Im not sure if this the right thread to post; Im considering changing the to HID lighting. I have read that it is better to change to projector type headlight assembly rather than using the stock assembly for halogen lamps. Could anyone share info as to how this would be done?

Is there an assembly that is available for Gen2.5 or is there anyone doing retrofitting?

Thanks in advance.

Good day to all FM Gurus! It's been a while since I posted some of my queries on Pajero Fieldmaster's Pros and Cons.

I finally got a 2004 Ralliart FM last friday for my family; well technically it should be today since the unit will only be delivered just today. The sad part is that I will only be able drive the said vehicle in 2 months time since I am working abroad..

Well sirs, here are my initial queries:
1. What is the average fuel consumption of the said vehicle (both city driving and long-distance)?
2. Any specific advice on daily maintenance of the vehicle?

Thanks in advance..
